Recently, the Small Business Administration (SBA) raised the 'Appeal to Heaven' flag, historically linked to the Revolutionary War but now associated with Christian Nationalism and support for Trump. Despite being raised for less than a day, its presence at the SBA headquarters raises concerns about the intertwining of religious symbolism with government identity. The flag, carried by January 6 rioters and embraced by far-right figures, represents a push for a theologically driven governance, challenging the secular nature of the state.
The white flag with a pine tree dates back to the Revolutionary War, but has recently become tied to Christian Nationalism and support for Trump.
Sources indicated that the Appeal to Heaven flag was raised for less than a day at the SBA, yet its presence outside a government building is concerning.
